Beautiful LIKE-NEW Perfectly Maintained Bowrider - DO NOT MISS!
The Formula 270 BR offers much more than your typical bow rider. She has versatile bow seating, comfortable seats for the captain and mate, a complete circle of bench seating with lounge options in the cockpit, and a convertible lounge pad on her stern. The enclosed head plus a sink is in a relatively large cabin portside, and there is plenty of storage throughout the vessel. This 270 is powered by a Mercruiser 8.2 Bravo 3, with 314 hours of use. She has been immaculately maintained by her current owner, who personally performs a complete engine flush after every outing. She had new manifolds and risers less than a year ago. Additional amenities include a bimini top, multiple covers including a stern cover, and all safety equipment. The owner also has a covered dry storage rack on Longboat Key available for purchase or lease. She does not have a trailer, but we can help you find one or transport her to you.

Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Formula SunSport line represents a distinctive crossover segment within Formula's boat offerings, blending the performance characteristics of sport boats with the comfort and amenities typical of cruising vessels. Designed exclusively by John Adams, who has been with Formula for 36 years, the SunSport series has evolved over 15 years to meet the needs of day boaters seeking both style and functionality. The 2009 lineup includes the recently launched 270 Bow Rider, which was well received at the dealer meeting, alongside models ranging from 24 to 35 feet in length.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Features
A defining characteristic of the SunSport line is its flush, expansive cockpit designed to maximize usable space and social interaction. The cockpit is maintained on a single level, allowing all occupants—whether at the helm, aft seating, or convertible sun lounge—to engage comfortably without elevation changes. Unique to the newer models is a convertible aft lounge that transforms from a traditional wraparound seating arrangement into a European-style sun pad, enhancing versatility. The boats also feature large swim platforms and optional wet bars or additional seating to accommodate various day boating preferences. The double helm seat and centerline-facing port seat further promote a social atmosphere, ensuring the operator is part of the group.
Interior Living Spaces and Amenities
While emphasizing day boating, the SunSport line also offers overnight accommodations in larger models starting from the 260 SunSport upwards. Interiors are crafted with high-quality materials consistent across the Formula range, including ultra-leather upholstery and finely detailed cabinetry. The 310 and 350 models feature galleys with high-gloss cherry finishes, stainless steel refrigerators and sinks, Corian countertops, and microwaves, reflecting the level of finish found in larger cruising yachts. The cabins are equipped with modern conveniences such as flat-screen LCD TVs, enhancing comfort for extended stays.
Craftsmanship and Electronics
Formula places a strong emphasis on handcrafted details, particularly in upholstery, where meticulous top stitching and French seams are executed by skilled artisans. The fit and finish of cabinetry, dash panels, and instrumentation reflect a commitment to precision and quality that distinguishes the SunSport line from mass-produced boats. Technological integration has advanced significantly, with options such as GPS units integrated into the dash even on smaller models like the 240. Entertainment systems include high-end stereo components with tweeters and subwoofers, MP3 and iPod compatibility, and widescreen televisions, catering to modern boating lifestyles.
Design Evolution and Market Positioning
The SunSport line is carefully sized to balance cockpit space and onboard amenities, starting at 24 feet to ensure sufficient seating and features for day boating, and capping at 35 feet before transitioning into the larger SuperSport series. The design philosophy centers on creating an inviting, social environment on the water, with a focus on comfort and usability. In 2009, Formula introduced new graphics and color schemes, including Caribbean blue, tropical red, and Mystic Slate, complemented by designer interior packages from Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama. These collaborations enhance the brand's appeal by aligning boat aesthetics with lifestyle preferences.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, the SunSport line is expected to maintain its core design principles centered on maximizing cockpit utility and day boating enjoyment. While Formula remains attentive to emerging trends in electronics, entertainment, and styling, the fundamental approach to the SunSport and Bow Rider models is well established. Continued refinement in graphics, color options, and onboard amenities will ensure the line remains competitive and appealing to its target market.
